#AltcoinSeasonLoading : The altcoin market is heating up as Bitcoin's dominance decreases (currently around 54-56%), paving the way for altcoins to break out.
Historically, the altcoin season usually comes after Bitcoin peaks and capital flows into other coins. The Altcoin Season Index (CoinMarketCap) indicates that 89 out of the top 100 altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin over the past 90 days, signaling a potential altcoin season, similar to 2021 when altcoins increased by 174% compared to Bitcoin's mere 2%.
Altcoins such as XRP (+302%), HBAR (+405.9%), Solana (SOL, +16% weekly), and meme coins like Dogecoin (+13%) are leading the charge. Ethereum needs to surpass Bitcoin (in the ETH/BTC pair) to trigger a 'risk-on' environment, boosting smaller altcoins. Altcoin trading volume rose by 75% last month, with total altcoin market capitalization reaching $1.89 trillion, surpassing the 2021 peak.
Signs of altcoin season: Bitcoin dominance dropping below 54%, TOTAL2 (altcoin market cap) breaking through the Bollinger Band, and FOMO increasing on X. However, risks remain high: price volatility, monetary policy, and market sentiment could reverse. Investors should monitor RSI, MACD, and on-chain data (such as new Solana addresses increasing by 15%). Strategy: diversify the portfolio, set stop-losses, and choose altcoins with strong fundamentals like SOL, ADA, or AI-tokens (FET +5.2%).
Prediction: If Bitcoin stabilizes above $84,000 and dominance decreases, the altcoin season could last for several months. However, caution is needed regarding FOMO traps and sudden dumps.
